"brother, let's go inside"
The child took Jared inside the building. The area was crowded with people of various genders. Some are browsing the stand that sells various things, while others converse with the individuals sitting behind the table.
The women around him were instantly drawn to Jared and enthralled by his charisma.
"Wow. He is so hot"
"What a sexy man"
"His skin is much more healthy and flawless than mine. How envious"
"His face is perfect. And he is tall. Men who are taller than women are much more attractive"
The woman was unable to resist admiring Jared, but he wasn't paying anyone any attention; instead, he allowed himself to be taken by the child.
"There, there. My father is right there" the child pointed at the middle-age man who was conversing with a couple.
He pulled Jared all the way to his father. "Father! Father! I brought someone"
The father and couple moved their eyes to the child who was dragging Jared. When the pair examined Jared, they immediately furrowed their brows.
The woman was wearing a black short dress with a brand-named purse dangling from her right hand, and the man dressed in navy blue long sleeves and dark slacks. Despite his simple clothes, the man's gold chain necklace, gold watch, and rings caught the attention of everyone around him, especially the event organisers.
"Dad. He said he wanted to donate"
After hearing what the child said, the man next to them grimaced at the sight of Jared. The couple began to giggle in discrete, glancing at Jared, who was dressed just in white long sleeves and black jeans.
"Kid, didn't your father ever tell you not to believe a stranger? Did he even have money?" The man stated with obvious ridicule. The child didn't answer and ran towards his father.
"Uh. Is this the Charity for children?" Jared asked, not minding the couple beside him.
"Yes. Do you want to donate?" The middle-age man questioned Jared without hesitation.
The man beside Jared quickly interrupted him from answering, "Pft! Hey kid. How much do you want to donate? 50? 100?".
The mocking tone of voice did not escape Jared's ears. The woman next to the man sneers with disdain. "Honey. It's fine to donate even just 5. Obviously he wouldn't be able to donate as much as the 50 thousand we planned to give" .
The organisers' eyes brighten when they hear what the woman says. The couple in front of them is significantly more charitable than the others, who only donated 1,000 to 5,000. The accessories he's wearing are proof that the couple can donate a large sum of money in comparison to Jared, who has nothing substantial other than his face.
"Lovely couples are so generous"
"Bless both of you"
The organisers' faces lit up when they heard how much money the couple could offer. The pair receives greater attention after displaying their money.
"So? How much money can you give? I will double the amount. 100? I will double" the man stated with a contemptuous smile, publicly humiliating him, Jared who was quietly standing, shifted his eyes on the man. "How much money could you give?"
"We already said it's 50,000. Are you deaf?" The man furrowed his brow, annoyed at Jared.
The people around them began to pay attention to the commotion. Some are judging both sides depending on the situation.
"Then give them already. Why are you talking to me instead of donating the money. Unless you don't have money to give them" He said with his blank face.
The couple was immediately stunned by the serious voice and cold facial expression of Jared, while the middle-age man of the child's father was quietly examining Jared. He was not the one to judge, but the couple was already there for almost an hour, speaking to an organizer and was planning to donate but it's been an hour and still nothing.
The couple were taken aback by Jared's serious voice and chilly facial expression, while the child's father, a middle-aged guy, silently examined Jared. He was not a judgmental person, but the pair had been there for about an hour, conversing with an organizer and planning to donate, but it had been an hour and nothing had happened.
The man was stunned but tried to buy time. "Tss! We have the money to donate---"
"If you have the money, then donate already; if not, then shut up" he uttered in an icy tone.
He faced the middle-age man and pointed at the printed QR code in the paper in front of him. "I just have to scan this one, right?".
The man immediately nodded in response. Jared opened his phone but the man sneered at him. "Let's see how much you can give".
Jared ignored the man and scanned the code.
'ting!'
[Your account number ending 5697 had transferred a total cash of 1,405,432 to Children's Future Livelihood Charity.
Savings account balance: 0.00 (Greenleaf Central Bank)]
"Done" he faced the child and waved at him. "Bye. I'm leaving"
After transferring everything to charity, he headed out without looking back. Everyone inside was dumbfounded by what he did but he didn't care.
The organizers and the couple wanted to see how much money Jared donated, but they were stunned when they saw a series of digits in their Charity account.
"Woah! He donated a million to charity. How generous"
"He didn't even blink. How wealthy"
"Wealthy and humble"
Jared ignored the words and gossip and went back inside the car. He drove off, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Woah! Lycan!"
"That car cost 3.5 million!"
"Turns out he's a rich person"
"If i had known, i would've stuck to him from the start"
Men are eyeing the car with an envious gaze, while the women's eyes were glittering with obvious regret.
The couple who made a fuss and tried to get Jared in trouble, couldn't help but curled in the corner with their eyes avoiding the crowd. They didn't think that the man was willing to donate millions when the two of them only planned to give 50,000 for fame.
"It hasn't been a few minutes"
"How generous, unlike someone who has been here for an hour but couldn't take out a single penny" someone said from the crowd.
The disdainful look from the organizers of the charity couldn't keep the two from standing still. They rushed out quickly to avoid far more embarrassment.
Oblivious to what was happening at the event, Jared was sitting in his car while waiting for the system.
[Ding!
Congratulations host, for completing the Mission. You spent 1,405,432 to Charity.
100x rebates have been implemented.
140,543,200 have been added to your account.

'ting!'
[Your account number ending 5697 had received a deposit of 140,543,200.
Savings account balance: 140,543,200 (Greenleaf Central Bank)]
With the continuous sound of notifications, Jared nodded with obvious satisfaction. His heart leaps as he sees the string of numbers increase in an instant.
With that much money, he just has to find a way to fill the (0/100) mission given by the system.
"If i can't use the system money to level up, why not purchase a business to earn money to level up" his lips curved up to the corner.
The plan was set; all he had to do now was to put the plan into action.
'krriinngg!'
He swiped the screen of his phone and on the loudspeaker.
"Good morning Mr. Hale. I am George Alverez from the Greenleaf Central Bank. We wanted to inform you that your cash deposit had limited your previous card and is already set to another card level. We would like to invite you to visit the Greenleaf Central Bank for further verification. Do you have any spare time today Mr. Hale?" The man explained with an amiable tone of speaking.
"Of course. I will be right there"
"Thank you Mr. Hale. We will wait for your arrival. Have a good day"
After the conversation, Jared drove directly to the bank. He was aware that card levels vary depending on deposit limits. Now that his money has surpassed one hundred million dollars, the card level and colour will be significantly higher than usual.
When Jared entered the bank, he went directly to the counter. The female employee greeted him warmly, "Hello sir, how may I help you?"
"I'm here to upgrade my card. George called me a while ago"
"Could I have your name, sir?" the woman politely enquired.
"Jared Hale"
The woman nodded and responded, "please have a sit first"
While the woman was tapping the keyboard, Jared sat down. The bank is bustling with people in and out. Some are here to deposit while some are here to withdraw, and some are here to borrow.
While Jared sat waiting for his name to be called, the woman went about her job responsibilities. He went on to look for his name, but the account was marked as 'limit reached', 'Error!'.
Jared Hale.
Balance account: 140,543,200.
The woman's eyes widened with disbelief and surprise.
She quickly headed to the Deputy CEO's office to report. "Sir, there's a man named Jared Hale. His Silver card has reached its limit and his current balance exceeded a hundred million!"
After hearing what the woman stated, the man got up and stomped his feet outside. Frantically looking for Jared. He was aware that someone had surpassed the card's limit, and he wanted to meet Jared personally.
"That one" the woman pointed at Jared who was quietly sitting on the bench while scrolling through his phone. The man immediately approached Jared, making his head tilt towards them. The man was stunned to see a young man owning hundreds of millions.
"Mr. Jared Hale?"
"Yes. Are we upgrading my card?"
"Of course, Mr. Hale. Please come with me"
Jared sat down as soon as he entered the office. The man quickly sat across him while the woman employee served them drinks.
"Pleasure to meet you. I am the deputy CEO & Managing director of Greenleaf Central Bank, Robert Monde" he introduced himself.
"Mr. Hale. Because your previous card exceeded the amount limit, we prepared the perfect card for you" he placed a Black card on the table in front of Jared.
"This is our second-most valuable card. This card deposit limit is only 1,000,000,000. The initiation and annual fee---" Jared cut him off by gesturing him to stop.
"It's fine. Whatever the cost of initiation and annual fee, i don't mind. Just deduct everything that's needed" Jared stated.
The man and the woman employee were staring at Jared. He was somehow different. Some people who exceed the limit of their bank immediately question the benefits they could get and even argue about the initiation and annual fee, but the man in front of them is nothing like the people they encounter, like he never bothers to care about any of those things.
"Of course Mr. Hale. We hope for your further partnership" Robert extended his hand. He felt like the person in front of him didn't have much to say for further conversation.
"I actually don't mind" Jared replied then shook the man's hand.
After he sorted out everything that needed to be done at the bank, he headed out and drove straight to his next destination.
